Resurrected RA

I was looking at using vinyl on my car instead of painting. There are a few color choices available I thought I get some opinions here. I'm going to wrap my hood, roof, and hatch.

3M color choices

Burnt orange

Flat black


I am going to take some better pictures of my car to get more detail.

I would have to say black.... I to am going to wrap my roof in black. I think that orange would destroy what you have worked up to IMO

I agree with the black. It also sorta matches the rims. It'll look good

OMG resurrected most of those are minivans ,I mean wagon owners are like


That doesnt look like a bad deal on the 3M , you might be able to find it little cheaper. Have you done a rough measurement of how much you'll need??

You know that irks me about that site too, caters to the van crowd, damn those mini-vanners, they're almost as bad as the sedaners!

5 Yd (15'/ 4.572 m) should cover it. The reason for this initiative is that the CF hood is scratched stained and it is $150+ to re-clear. As well, I placed some boxes on the roof and now there are a bunch of scratches on the roof. I think that just wrapping it may make it look better without the expense of prep and paint.

I could wrap the whole car for less than $1000. Haha, doubt I will be doing that.

I agree with the black idea, but I love the orange haha

Love the black. I'm also looking into wrapping my roof in flat black. Maybe the underside of the spoiler too, not too sure yet.

The black will flow with your car where the orange will look super ricey imo.
